Snail caused car crash that killed UK teen
From: NewsCore February 01, 2011 8:16AM A BRITISH teenager died in a car crash caused by a snail, a coroner has ruled. Katie Dagley, 19, died instantly in the head-on crash on a stoplight-controlled bridge in Alvecote, near Birmingham in central England, local newspaper the Sunday Mercury reported. Dagley, who worked at McDonald's, was driving home from work in August when her Ford Ka hit an oncoming Fiat after the lights on the single-lane bridge failed to give out a stop warning. Returning a verdict of accidental death after his investigation, coroner Sean McGovern said a snail left its trail across the lights’ circuit board, which caused it to short-circuit shortly before the incident. My comment : How did the snail get inside the traffic lights, circuit board?
